FAQ

  • EDC is a community based organization. We live in the community, we have family in the community and we will support this community.

    We will do that through free, monthly community classes for kids, adults and caregivers so we can add value even if our membership is not for you.

    We will also host weekly family nights where you can join us to ask any questions you’d like and have some fun. Kids activities will be included. Members have priority registration for these events but the public is welcome to register for just 5$ per family.

  • Pre registration ensures that you have your own dedicated timeslot the moment that we open.

    In addition to all the perks we are offering to you as a Founding 50 member, you’ll be helping us show that this is something that will succeed in our community.

  • We are Targeting a June 2026 opening. With any luck it will be sooner but right now June is the most realistic.

  • We don’t!

    We intentionally went with a membership based business model because not only does in ensure we have consistent, predictable income but it guarantees our members access to everything we offer without the need to worry about additional costs.

    We are also open to the public for all of our services at low, per visit pricing that will be established and published once we are open.

    We want our community to have access and get value out of this facility.

    Through additional purchases of our products, classes and by bringing guests who may be interested. You all contribute even further to our membership base and in return support our recurring membership model.

  • At EDC, our coaches aren't just instructors—we are certified NRA and USCCA professionals, specialized fitness trainers, martial artists, and lifelong students of tactical defense.
